Summary:

The 60629 zip code area of Chicago, Illinois is home to 15 elementary schools that are part of the Chicago Public Schools District 299. These schools serve students from pre-kindergarten through 8th grade and face significant socioeconomic challenges, with the majority of students coming from high-poverty households.

While the district as a whole is ranked 698 out of 811 in Illinois and rated 1 star out of 5 by SchoolDigger, a few schools in the 60629 area stand out as potential high-performers. Sor Juana Ines de la Cruz ranks 160 out of 2,056 Illinois elementary schools and is rated 5 out of 5 stars, with exceptional test scores in both English Language Arts and Mathematics. Pasteur Elementary School also performs well, ranking 584 out of 2,056 and earning a 4-star rating, with strong academic results across the board. In contrast, McKay Elementary School struggles with very low proficiency rates, particularly in English Language Arts.

The data reveals a wide range in academic performance across the 15 schools, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts ranging from 21.9% at McKay Elementary to 78.3% at Sor Juana Ines de la Cruz. Similarly, Mathematics proficiency rates vary from 4.9% at Fairfield Elementary Academy to 63.5% at Sor Juana Ines de la Cruz. Chronic absenteeism is also a significant concern, with all schools in the data set reporting rates well above the state average.
